Mr Butts' Announcements

Miss Calder and Miss Turk's class listening beautifully today.

It's great to be back!

It is wonderful to see the children back at school after such a stressful week for everyone in the flood affected areas. The response from the Mooroopna community has been amazing with the assistance given and support offered. This week we delivered hampers to all of our flood affected families.  I would be lying if I said these families are doing well, it has been such an emotional time for them all.  I have assured all families that we will continue to assist them with whatever they need.

Lunch Donations

Thank you to the families who volunteered to make lunches for our flood affected families. We will be in touch with details regarding days and the types of lunches required. Click here for the volunteer Click here to put down your name to assist.

Financial Relief

There are many avenues of financial and other relief for flood affected families:

Safety Inspections

Thankfully all safety inspections were given the tick of approval this week.  We will be monitoring water underneath buildings to ensure everything is drying out appropriately. and keeping the children off the oval while it is so wet. Other than that, school is back to normal.

Mr Butts' Jokes!

A friend designed an invisible airplane.  I can't see it taking off.

 

I jammed my finger in the door the other day so I asked the doctor could I write with it.  He said "maybe, but I wouldn't count on it!"
